The reimagined Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure unites Peterborough residents to help change the future of breast cancer
This year’s hybrid virtual and physical experience includes a refreshed app, customizable virtual runners and live streamed opening ceremonies
When the world stopped because of the COVID-19 pandemic, breast cancer didn’t. Every day, more than 75 Canadians are diagnosed with breast cancer. Now more than ever, the CIBC Run for the Cure needs your support to ensure that no Canadian has to face breast cancer alone.
Since we can’t meet in person this year, the CIBC Run for the Cure has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind experience with both physical and virtual components. Through our refreshed, easy-to-use mobile app and website, participants can create and customize their own virtual runner, fundraise to unlock rewards and track their activity. On Run Day, Peterborough residents are invited to join our live-streamed opening ceremonies before heading out to walk or run in their neighbourhood.
Join us and run or walk your way on October 4. Peterborough residents can register or donate to the Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for The Cure at cibcrunforthecure.com.
